Whilst superlattices containing thin films of 5d transition metal oxides are expected to yield strong interfacial coupling, only weak effects have been observed. Here, the authors report strong coupling between 3d SrMnO3 and 5d SrIrO3due to the interplay of strong Coulomb and spin orbit interactions.
